| |
[i just tried to email the Kconfig maintainer, but sendmail suggested that that mail might not have gotten through, so i'll toss this out here.]
in my quest to clean up even more kernel config menus, i ran across the following oddity in arch/i386/Kconfig:
-----
config MCA bool "MCA support" depends on !(X86_VISWS || X86_VOYAGER) help MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.
config MCA depends on X86_VOYAGER default y if X86_VOYAGER
source "drivers/mca/Kconfig"
-----
i'm not sure what it means to have two config entries with identical symbols. can someone clarify this? i'm just confused (which should not come as a surprise at this point).
rday
p.s. and i'm open to where i should be emailing those patches if this list is not the right place.
